# Risk-o-meter Framework - Implementation Summary

## ✅ Completed

Successfully implemented the **Risk-o-meter framework** (Chakrabarti et al., 2018) and integrated it into the comparison pipeline.

## 📄 Paper Reference

**Title**: Risk-o-meter: Automated Risk Detection in Contracts  
**Authors**: Chakrabarti, A., & Dholakia, K. (2018)  
**Key Achievement**: **91% accuracy on termination clauses**  
**Method**: Paragraph vectors (Doc2Vec) + SVM classifiers

## 🎯 Implementation Details

### Core Components

**File**: `risk_o_meter.py` (750+ lines)

#### 1. Doc2Vec (Paragraph Vectors)
- **Purpose**: Learn distributed semantic representations of legal clauses
- **Model**: Distributed Memory (DM) variant
- **Parameters**:
  - Vector size: 100 dimensions (configurable)
  - Window: 5 words context
  - Epochs: 30-40 (configurable)
  - Algorithm: DBOW/DM (using DM for better semantic capture)

#### 2. SVM Classifier
- **Purpose**: Multi-class risk categorization
- **Kernel**: RBF (default) or linear
- **Features**: Doc2Vec embeddings + optional TF-IDF augmentation
- **Output**: Risk categories with probability distributions

#### 3. SVR Regressors (Extension)
- **Purpose**: Predict severity and importance scores
- **Method**: Support Vector Regression
- **Output**: Continuous scores (0-10 scale)

## 🔧 Usage

```bash
# Test Risk-o-meter standalone
python risk_o_meter.py
